Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the Antelope, CA. area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehab programs around Antelope, California and in the country.
